Mild Steel

Mild steel is a versatile and common type of steel made mostly from iron with a small amount of carbon, typically up to 0.25%. Its low carbon content makes it relatively soft, ductile, and easy to work with, allowing it to be welded or shaped into various forms. Mild steel is widely used in construction, manufacturing, and everyday objects like pipelines, automobile parts, and appliances due to its strength, affordability, and ease of fabrication. It can be painted or coated to prevent corrosion, making it a practical choice for many industrial and structural applications.
